Liverpool, leader of the Premier League, took the star pulse of the third round of the England Cup by winning 2 to 0 at Arsenal's field, while the current champion Manchester City He completed a 5-0 victory over Huddersfield, second division, on the day he returned from his injury Kevin De Bruyne.

The second half caused a tactical change in which Díaz moved to the right, Gakpo moved to the center and Núñez moved to the left.
In an effort to cope without Mohamed Salah, Klopp indicated on Friday that he would be forced to “be creative” and that this was a revamped first line, having initially played Gakpo as a midfielder and Elliott as a right-back.
With the goal against the Gunners, Guajiro Díaz completed a particular list in his career. The coffee attacker has already scored a goal against Liverpool's five great rivals, who are part of the so-called 'Big Six', as they are the teams with the greatest history and greatness in English football.
Díaz has already scored goals against Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur (2 goals) in Premier League matches. In addition, he scored against Arsenal in the FA Cup; while he scored against Manchester City with Porto, from Portugal, facing them in the Champions League.
With the Liverpool shirt he only needs to score against City, although he already knows what it's like to beat them.
The above fits like a glove these days, when Liverpool will not have Mohamed Salah, as he plays with Egypt in the African Cup.
It has been said in England that the deal for Salah to leave the club is imminent and that playing close to the family has conditioned him to leave, which is why Liverpool are already looking for a replacement.
However, Díaz is one of those called to make the 'Pharaoh' forgotten, at least that is clear from the comments heard and read in the English newspapers.
“Asking him to win headers against Gabriel in the first half was a bit ambitious. He improved when he switched to the right flank in the second half, even if he didn't always make the right decision until he crushed it in the second half,” commented the Liverpool Echo.
After appearing again, Luis Díaz is once again on everyone's lips and although a few weeks ago he was criticized for his poor performance, apparently that is being left behind and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher highlighted the level of the Colombian winger.
“Great result, but what could be pivotal for Liverpool looks like the real Luis Diaz is back in these last two games,” said Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher.
Díaz has been key in the team and more so in the last two games, in the 4-2 victory over Newcastle and now in the victory against Arsenal, so he is one of the references to replace Salah.
